Thursday 22nd February 2024 saw more Class 458 EMU shenanigans with planned working 5X62 0530 Wembley Receptions 1-7 to Bournemouth T&RSMD and associated return 5M64 1315 Bournemouth T&RSMD to Leicester L.I.P. being cancelled due to a “request by the train operator”. Things were retimed, however, but we still saw GBRf Class 57 No.\u2019s 57306 \u2018Her Majesty\u2019s Railway Inspectorate\u2019 and 57303 arriving at Branksome with refurbished Class 458\/4 No. 458424 65 minutes later than the revised schedule with 5X62 0909 Wembley Receptions 1-7 to Bournemouth T&RSMD. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the Class 57 and Class 458\/4 consist departed Branksome to reverse into the depot, an un-refurbished Class 458\/5 No. 458513, still in the old SWT blue livery, was poking its nose out of the sidings. Which was a bit of a bonus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
